Why read it?

Since finding the book in the basement, I have found all three books: What Mary Jo Wanted is all about Mary Joās obsession with dogs and her campaign to convince her parents she should get a dog.

It was reprinted with new artworkā¦
From Judy's list on picture books featuring children of color.
